Librarians building innovative mobile technologies: Creating it ourselves

Abstract

As patrons increasingly rely on mobile applications and responsive websites to access information, it has become imperative that libraries accommodate these needs. Although building these resources in-house may seem too expensive, time-consuming, and require outsourcing, this paper showcases how it can be achieved on a small scale using existing staff, innovative funding resources, and affordable training.
